Kurt Weill: On Stage: From Berlin to Broadway by Foster Hirsch (English) Paperba

Description: Kurt Weill: On Stage by Foster Hirsch, Kurt Weill Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Many people believe they have to choose between the earlier high-brow European career of composer Weill or his later more popular work in the US, says Hirsch, a prolific writer on drama. But, he says, every one of Weills shows is different, and there is no reason not to savor the merits of each one Publisher Description Foster Hirsch, using Weills letters, journals, and notes, and interviewing Weills friends and colleagues, writes about his life, his experimental, political composing in Germany, his Broadway music in America - both aspects of his work being a source of controversy among music lovers for years. Lotte Lenya said, "There is no American Weill, there is no German Weill. There is no difference between them. There is only Weill." Hirsch details the writing, casting, and production of Weills eleven hit shows. He writes about Weills years in Hollywood and the friends he made and lost along the way. He evokes Weills complicated, intense collaborations with Brecht, Maxwell Anderson, Langston Hughes, Alan Jay Lerner, Elmer Rice, Moss Hart, and Ira Gershwin. In this book Hirsch has given us a vivid portrayal of a remarkable artist and a fabulous era of American musical theatre. Author Biography Foster Hirsch is a professor of film at Brooklyn College of the City University of New York. He has published fifteen books on film and theatre, including "Acting Hollywood Style, Harold Prince and the American Musical Theatre, "and "A Method to Their Madness: The History of the Actors Studio."
